Inside Nikon's D70 factory

25 Feb 2004

There is a interesting look inside the Nikon D70 factory in Thailand that is set to produce 800 000 D70's in 2004, interesting pictures etc.

The projected production run for 2004 is 800,000 units of the D70 camera body from the Nikon Thailand factory. The D70 has been eagerly awaited world wide by photographers because it is the first Digital SLR camera body to challenge the immensely popular Canon 300D (Digital Rebel).

Nikon has gone Canon better this time and produced a camera that has capabilities so far not available at this camera's price point and some capabilities not available before at any price point. Although prices may vary in different regions, the current battle between Canon and Nikon is for the US $999. digital SLR camera market.
